James O’Connor burst onto the super rugby scene as a 17 year old & had his first Wallabies cap at the ripe age of 18. His early talent marked him a stand out for rugby fans & a target for the Australian media.
As a young man mistakes are inevitable & James’ often made for good headlines on the back page & a tirade of criticism. Both of which hugely influenced his decision to step outside of Australia & explore career opportunities in Europe for a number of years.
Now back on home soil, it’s clear that James has made peace with himself & ultimately has nothing to prove, yet a lot to show for the journey he has been on. His 16 year career has been one of many twists & turns. He has battled substance & alcohol addiction, faced his demons & come out the other side with a legendary career that is still well & truly alive at the Queensland Reds.
